Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there 
were no deaths on this passage.

The original lister did not number the passengers and did not provide a recapitulation
at the end of the Manifest.

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which 
further explains the entry.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the
quality of the document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's
Notes of what this letter/letters may be.

A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original 
lister showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.

 50  This area of the manifest is very light. Possibilities:  Carrigan, Cavigan,
     Cavingan. 
 74-76  This initial capital on the surname is not like any other that the original
     lister used.  It could be "T", "L" or "F". The other letters are unclear. Some 
     possibilities for this name:  Lonsly, Tomby, Tonsly, Fonsly. 
 85&86  Both are identified as Laborers, which is probably an error.
101  Inadvertently listed as a male.
102&103  Inadvertently listed as a female.
106  Inadvertently listed as a male.
110  This name is lost at the fold of the document.
119-121  Surname possibilties: Shern, Shear, Shears  Actual age of passenger #121 is 
     7-1/2 years.
138 & 139 Paper, Poper.
170  Listed as a female, but has a distinctly masculine name.
171  Listed as a male, but has a distinctly feminine name.
172  Listed as a female, but with a masculine name.
